Verdict:

As you would have noticed, this stock research toolbar for Firefox shows tremendous information. It does not shows any data on its own; instead, it redirects you to the websites that have that data. It is like a big bookmark of good finance websites, neatly categorized as per required information. However, unlike a bookmark, it actually open the website for the stock ticker that you mentioned in the toolbar. So, you don’t have to individually go to the websites and search for the stock. This makes the stock research very easy. A must have tool for all non-professional stock traders (I am sure professional traders would already have much more advanced tools).
